Hate and Pain

 

Hate and Pain

 

          Life is but a continuous journey of learning, a roller-coaster of happiness, winding emptiness, abundance out of hardships, uncharted love, and immeasurable pain. These countless and unexpected circumstances we encountered are the aftermath of the choices we make. But let’s talk about hate and pain.

 Why do people feel hate and pain? Is it because of unsettled emotions like jealousy, envy, and unreciprocated love? To what extent can hate and pain inflict us and others?

           First, let us define these inseparable words. Yes, they are inseparable because one cannot feel hate without pain, or vice versa. It is impossible to feel an extreme hatred towards someone without emotional discomforts, nor feel pain without cause.

 Hate is an intense or extreme aversion derived from fear or anger. While pain is a physical and emotional discomfort that causes a person to do something hostile. A person can feel both emotions at the same time. These two are the internal agonizing desire to inflict pain on others. It is like a heavy load that makes us suffer within. These make every nerve of our body constrict because we want to hurt them.

 

Hatred and pain are illnesses of one’s soul, mind, and heart. Once it fully controls us, it may cause us to avenge ourselves or make us burst in rage. Usually, it dictates us to strike back to satisfy our malevolent desire or wrath for revenge.

 Yes, it is a disease. It devours our sanity. It blinds our judgment. It immobilizes and weakens our ability to think until we become irrational. It makes us hear nothing because we only listen to our monster that prowling within us, ready to snap our prey. It only makes us taste the bitterness. It consumes our ability to love, understand, and erases kindness in our hearts. It makes us feel nothing, only the feeling of vengeance. And makes fear to recoil.

 What if we let hate and pain control us? What if we wish or intend to cause harm or someone’s death? What if we did harm or kill someone out of anger and pain? The very existential question is does killing satisfy us? Or it only transforms us to what hate and pain really intend us to become? Does anger and pain left?

 The answer is No. Causing harm or killing someone does not satisfy our hatred and pain. These two leave us nothing only the feeling of regrets.

 Our actions will backfire. Hate and pain will make us feel the pain even more and hate ourselves even more. The extreme and immeasurable sensation of regrets and wretchedness will slowly drown us. This is exactly what will happen if we let these illness control of very being.
